EuroVelo 6’s section on the Danube takes you from Passau to Vienna, though fertile plains and the oldest town of Austria, Enns. Just a few kilometres on the Passau-Vienna section will make you understand why it is one of the most famous stages of the route. Generally-speaking, the entire section is perfect for cycling, as the route runs on comfortable flat roads, whilst the varied landscapes and the rich cultural heritage of the different cities and towns make the trip even more enjoyable. Enns, the oldest town of Austria, is worth stopping for before you arrive in Vienna.
